Abstract
The needs and care of children with congenital hear t disease have recently assumed political prominence, and the role of the paediatric cardiac liaison nurse has been highlighted as an example of good practice in this area of nursing. However, there are issues associated with further development of the role. These issues include resources, professional background, training, and models of ser vice provision, and they are discussed in this article in the context of currently available evidence. We conclude that the paediatric cardiac liaison nurse, along with other emerging cardiac nurse specialists, has a vital par t to play in cardiac ser vice provision, but that the development and impact of this role must be evaluated reliably.
